NINETEEN

"Happy 19th birthday!" Came voices ringing through Athena's ear.

She opened her eyes to see four bodies above her smiling.

Athena sat up and her four best friends began to sing happy birthday.

"Happy birthday to you-" Their singing was cut off Athena rushing to the bathroom.

A wave a nausea rushed over her. She collapsed beside the toilet, puking her brains out.

"Well, that's one way to start a birthday" James shrugged while Lily slapped his arm.

"Are you alright goddess?" Sirius knocked on the door.

Her response was the disgusting sound of throwing up.

"Peachy" She gagged as Sirius walked in.

Sirius rummaged through the drawer and pulled out a hair tie, waking over and slipping her hair into a bun.

"Have I ever told you you're the best?" Athena slouched.

"Yes but please do keep saying it" He smirked.

"Shove it" She nudged Sirius's arm,"Where are the others"

"Downstairs" He shrugged.

"Great way to spend a birthday" Athena sighed

Just before Sirius could make a sarcastic comment Athena threw up again.

He patted her back as she leaned against the toilet.

"I love you" He kissed the top of her head.

"You better" She mustered up a laugh before puking again.

Athena spent the rest of the morning in the bathroom. The nausea coming and going. Sirius stayed by her side holding her hair and wiping her face. What a good husband. Well almost husband.

Remus had to leave but since Lily and James live with them Athena was able to spend at least some of her birthday with them.

But the worst part about this whole thing was I didn't get to eat any cake!

Sirius said she should wait till tomorrow even though Athena gave him her biggest puppy dog eyes. But nope, Athena was glued to their bed.

"Can I get you anything?" Sirius asked crawling into bed.

"Just you being here is good enough for me" Athena snuggled up to him.

Today it was just Lily and Athena, the boys were off doing something for the Order but the girls stayed behind. She was still under the weather so Lily stayed.

"Feeling any better?" Lily sat beside her.

"It's on and off" Athena shrugged.

"Listen I have something to tell you" She looked at Athena and grabbed her hand.

"What?" Athena looked concerned.

"I'm pregnant!" She smiled.

"Lily that's incredible!" Athena beamed pulling her friend into a hug.

"Thanks!" She hugged back,"But I haven't told James yet so don't say anything"

"I won't" Athena nodded

But then Athena realized something.

"Lily" She grabbed her arm

"What?" Lily looked worried but then she saw realization come across her face.

"You think?" Lily asked.

"Maybe?" Athena eyes widened.

"Have you?" She looked back me.

"Yep"

"This could be happening"

Lily smiled, "This could be wonderful!"

James and Sirius came home later and they were having dinner. Lily and Athena came up with a plan that would be put into motion soon.

Lily and Athena after dinner quickly ran upstairs. Laying on Lily's bed was a large piece of blank parchment.

Athena grabbed it and looked at Lily.

"Ready?"

"As I'll ever be"

Athena squeezed her hand and they walked back downstairs.

She dropped the parchment just by the sofa where the boys would surely see it. Without stopping Lily and Athena continued into the kitchen to clean as James and Sirius walked out into the living room.

Athena was putting dishes away and Lily waited.

Through the room they could hear

"Hey mate what's this?"

"I don't know"

She could hear Sirius inspecting the parchment.

"Aparecium" The girls heard James.

Then silence.

Athena looked at Lily for encouragement but she looked just as nervous as she was.

Another minute passed without a word. Lily and Athena stood together.

Suddenly the two men came running through the door with huge smiles on their faces. Giddy with excitement Sirius ran over to Athena and hoisted her above his head as James did the same.

"This is incredible!" Sirius practically yelled as he put her down.

He quickly pulled Athena into a smiley kiss.

"So I take it you're happy?" She laughed

"The happiest I've ever been in my entire life"

On the ground below sat the parchment. On it Athena could read the words they had spelled it to say.

'Goddess and Lily-Flower are proud to announce...'

'THE FATHERHOOD OF PADFOOT AND PRONGS'
